I received my Montessori Primary Certification from the Montessori World Educational Institute in Cambria, California. I have my B.S. in Child Development with a minor in Psychology from California Polytechnic State University. I earned my M.S. Education from Dominican University of California along with my public K-8 teaching credential. This is my second year at Primavera and I have been in the classroom for 13 years, from toddler to adult-level education.

I am in love with the people of Primavera–the children, staff, and parents. I couldn’t imagine being in a more supportive school that cares deeply for the development and wellbeing of each person, and a community that makes it so. In my free time, I love to read, write, travel, cook and eat, be with friends and family, practice yoga, and do anything outside.
